It was so well written that the nursery rhyme 'hush little baby' will haunt me forever. Oh, that and the giant freakin' spider who I was sure to have nightmares of, but thankfully did not. If I had one complaint about this book, it would be that it did seem to run long (especially for a YA book aimed for the preteens). Her puns and dimwitted humour had me giggling a few times and most of the time I didn't know whether to hug her, pat her on the head, or slap her. There was action from beginning to end, twists around every corner, I spent most of the book accusing every single character of being the bad guy.īut my favourite of all would have to be the character of Olivia. (Yes, you read correctly, I didn't like Harry Potter. Suspected evil teachers.īut there is one big difference between Harry Potter and The Last Sactuary: I actually enjoyed this book. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. There's the shy one, the smart one and the hopelessly dumb yet hilarious one. Kayla Howarth - permissions - email protected ISBN: 9781311876607 This is a work of fiction.
The major ones: Three twelve years olds are sent to a new school where magical type things start happening (although in this book, the students are unaware that magic exists). Do they stay, or do they flee again? Will they be coming for her? Will her whole family come under investigation? Will they discover Shilah and his ability to predict the future?Īre you Defective? The Institute is coming for you.I'll start off by saying that I don't usually like to compare books, but with 'The Last Sanctuary' it's hard not to notice similarities between it and Harry Potter.
She's not Defective, but what seventeen-year-old girl has the ability to pull two teenage boys away from a fiery rubble and walk away without a scratch? It would definitely be seen as suspicious.Īllira and her family need to make decisions. By doing so, she may have just caught the eye of the Institute. When Allira stumbles across a car crash involving two of her school classmates, she ignores all of her father's warnings of laying low and not drawing attention to herself. Protecting Shilah from that fate is their number one priority. To Allira and the rest of her family, the Institute seems more like a prison than the safe-haven they promote themselves to be. Defectives are dangerous, they possess abilities that no human should be able to.
They claim to protect Defectives, but it's human nature to fear the unknown. The source of your fear? The Institute.Īllira Daniels will do anything to keep her Defective brother safe from the Institute.
